REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ACCOUNTS.
The Committee on Accounts reported as
follows:
Your Committee begs leave TO report that
the annual financial exhibit Of the city's
affairs, shows reduction of the city debt
of So, 7O9. 90, and while no one OF the var
iOus departments have exceeded the limit
estimated by the Finance Committee, and
prescribed by the ordinance, large and I'M
portant improvements have been made,
contributing greatly to the comfort and
convenience of the public.
Considering the stringency OF the times,
and the great length Of time our chief IN
dustrial establishments were idle, the col
lections made by the City Collector have
been prompt and close TOO much praise
cannot be awarded to the present lncum-
bents of the City Clerks and Receivers OIL
fees, for the almost perfect system and
order with which the books, accounts anu
papers are kept in these departments.
The city has done wisely i'll aiding these
officers to accomplish this result by pro-

reception and preservation Of the clty's
books and papers, all Of which are so neat
ly arranged and filed that no delay IS &C.
casioned in inspecting any transaction or
account.
Especial attention is called to the I'M
proved financial condition OF the City Wa
ter Board, which has paid, during the year
1856, $4,000 on account Of interest and
loans, besides paying all outlay and in
CURED expenses of the department, and
have increased the cash balance to their
credit from $l4, 377 43 to 49,, 534.05.
The City Gas Board has also done well,
having paid s., 700 on account Ofinterest
OH loans, and have decreased their debt
from $l2, 1873. 03 to So, 6O9.79.

show such order and system worthy of all

The Hasty Reading Public,

posed to teach poetry. The labor of q
lifetime has become the plaything of an
hour Young ladies will explain the
principles of Greek art or the intricacies
of scriptural chronology; young gentle
men will populariZe the profoundest dis
coveries Of science or the divinest perad-
ventures of philosophy; and all this shall
be done with a fluency and precision that
sets my poor old fashioned brain whirl-

Among such competitors, then, you

on one side and an ignoble vanity of the
otheD makes an unknown writer's condi-
ton much harder than it was. Formerly
he took his place Gf he were lucky enough
to find iD among his elders and his bet

A SEASIDE FILTRATION.

With sorrow in her eyes Of blue,
With trembling hands she slowly penned it
The little parting billet doux
That conscience told her now should end it.
Those tete-a-tetes along the shore.
Those gypsyings with fern filed basket,
Must join the dear delights of yore
And only live in memory's casket.
There never was a heart like Jacks:
He told his passion in his glances.
She sealed her note with scented wax,
But could not drown her dismal fcncies.
When he should read his suit denied,
So long the theme of idle gazers,
She pictured him a suicide,
And shuddered at the thought of razors:
At last she slept-but not till dawn
Had blossomed through the ocean vapors
Jack conned her missive with yawn
When he had the morning papers.
He gave his beard a languid twirl
Amt murmured as he sat smoking:
'1Tear stained-by Jove-poor little girl!
l thought she knew that was joking.'

Indians and Salmon at Fort Wrangel.

Indians and Salmon at Fort Wrangel.
During our day at Fort Wrangel, while
the sun was shining, family of Thlinket
Indians short distance back in the coun-
try were huddled together in their hut;
but as soon as it commenced to rain one
and all emerged, set around on logs and
chattels, seeming to enjoy being rained
on. The natives take little account of
time; they paddle along the coast for
thousands of miles on the most trivial of
errands, the question 80 to where they
stay or sleep apparently being of small
consequence.
The fish supply here is seemingly mex
haustlble. Salmon appear in solid schools
six and eight feet Deep The Stricken
river back of Fort Wrangel and the out
lets OF some of the inland waters to the
salt water are at certain seasons actually
choked with squirming salmon, causing
them in their eagerness to pass through
to crowd each other above the sur
face of the water, thus creating for the
time solid bank of fish Smaller fish
are also to be found in surprising quanti-
ties Herring swarm in the channels.
The candle fish, small fish about six
inches long, which is delicious eating, can
be caught by the million. A pailful can
be had from a native for the merest trif1e.
host of other varieties abound, until
the lover of fishing here tires of the sport.

SHERMAN AND FORAKER.

The merry war continues between Sher-
man and Foraker. Sherman in public is
for Foraker's gubernatorial candidacy,
while in private he is after his scalp.
Foraker in public has not expressed one
word in favor of Sherman's Presidential
nomination, while in private life he is
running his own Presidential boom and
fighting Sherman in every quarter. These
two men bear about the same love for
one another that Gould and Field bear
towards each other. In public they will
fall upon each others necks in close en-
brace and prod each other in the spinal
column.
The attempt OF the Republican press to
keep peace and quiet between these
Presidential aspirants has been as futile
as to keep peace between a cat and dog.
Sherman knows full well it is his last op-
portunity, while Foraker is cognizant Of
being placed in the same situation him
SELF The trouble with Ohio Republicans
lies in the fact that they have too many
ambitious leaders, who are nothing more
or less than pothouse politicians. There
is no way to remedy the evil than for the
people TO vote for the next Democratic
gubernatorial candidate.

CHOOSING An OCCUPATION.

Multitudes of young people are about
to choose their occupations for life within
the next few months. The arguments
and wishes OF parents may not always be
needed; but the young men and young
women, the boys and girls, should not
be left to bear this burden of choice en-
tirely alone, nor should they be COM
PEELED, against their will, to enter occu-
pations and professions for which nature
and taste have not adapted them. There
is a golden mean which all parents do
not reach in these matters. They are
apt to go too far, and spoil the aircastle
that the boy may have built for himself,
or not go far enough, and leave the child
ungided in this perplexing period.

know how it originated" said the Rev.
Sam Jones, in his Red Rock sermon re-
Gently. 81 will tell you. Once upon a
time Truth and Error went in bathing to-
gether. Error came out first, put on
Truths clothes, and ran away. And Err
ror has been trying to wear the same gar
ments ever since. When Truth came out
of the water the only garments it could
find to put on was what belonged to Err
ror. Before will wear such garments
as those, said Truth, Il will 60 naked all

SRARP'S SENTENCE.

The sentencing of old Jake Sharp to
four years imprisonment exhibits one Of
those awful necessities often shown in the
law courts. That man of his age and
wealth should be obliged to spend the
few remaining days OF his life in prison
among the lowest criminals is the best
illustration ever yet given of the equality
of all men under the law. Age,
wealth, social position and infu-
ence are of no more benefit
TO him than the rags worn by poor
tramp who has been run in for vagrancy
Itsis right that it would be SO. 1t is indeed
a fiattering commentary on the Judge,
the prosecution and the jury in the case.
OF course it is sad, out at the admission
of this fact sentimentality must cease
and we must all acknowledge the grand
eur Of law tina. knows no partiality

DEAD ONTO 1T.

Says the Laramie Boomerang: The
telegram which appears elsewhere in tn q
Boomerang, purporting to have been sent
out by the Associated Press agent at Salt
Lake City, is probably as infamous a
specimen of fraud as was ever perpetrat-
ed by the Mormon schemers. There is
not one iota of difference in the respective
position of the "Saints" and the Gentiles
in Utah to-day and that occupied by
them for the past ten years. There is no
such thing as a conversion of ones views
on Mormonism from what they or
iginally were, among residents of that
Territory, without social and business
ostracism. The "Geutiles," or American
unbelievers, include all the Catholics
and Protestants of the Territory, not one
of whom ever can or ever will concede
to the Mormon Church any inten-
ton of abandoning the principal
tenet Of their relIgion-polygamy. The
whole movement for securing Statehood
is one undertaken in order to strengthen
the grasp OF the church and save it from
the annihilation now threatening it. Re-
publicans and Democrats are united in
their opposition to it throughout Utah.
The leading papers of beth political par
ties denounce the scheme and declare
that it cannot succeed.
The Mormons have invaded Idaho,
Nevada, Arizona and Colorado with
their lecherous doctrines and practices
and they are found so some extent in the
towns of Western Wyoming. Wherever
they are found in numbers sufficiently
large to take any part in politics they are
the same as in Utah and their presence
is detriment to any community. 1t is
to be hoped for the sake OF the future
prosperity of the western country, to say
nothing OF that of the entire union, that
\ Utah may be no nearer Statehood than
She now is until President Taylor and
Us counsellors and the other great and
lining lights of the Church who are
in hiding to escape the Penitentiary,
kaptured and lodged behind the bars
peir temples have been sold under

Chicago and created quite a sensation in

all against the truth of the rumor.
